IVAN RYBKIN ON SERBIA:

Russia should be reckoned with and listened to....If we say that any rash movement against Serbia is dangerous, it is because that we know twice in this century ... the greatest troubles for the entire world started here. ON ZHIRONOVSKY:

His behavior has nothing in common with the way the people in Russia act and think. I myself served in the Army and have absolutely no desire to wash my soldiers' boots in the Indian Ocean. ON ECONOMIC REFORM:

Today in parliament, everyone is against the country being transformed into some social welfare agency. We have to concentrate on protecting only those who cannot stand up for themselves.
